The Dropout Reasons
You can find the menu called Dropout Reasons in the menu under Reporting → Dropout reasons.
By default, your instance already includes a sample selection of dropout reasons. The reasons are divided into Company and Candidate reasons. This helps you track whether and why you rejected the candidates or why the candidates withdrew their applications during the recruitment process.

How to add dropout reasons to candidates?
The dropout reasons are directly linked to project categories. If the system recognizes that a candidate profile is moved to a stage that belongs under the Dropped Out category, then Teamdash can automatically include the profile under the Dropout reasons reporting.
Assigning a category to a project stage will give you the flexibility to customize your recruitment projects while enabling Teamdash to offer you automated reporting and analytics.
Use the dropout reason prompt
By default, your instance has an active setting to launch a popup window with Dropout reasons, if someone is moved to the Dropped Out category.
The Reason field will open a select menu with options saved under your Dropout Reasons menu:
After choosing the reason and adding it to the candidate, the information is saved under the History tab on the candidate profile:
You can always disable this prompt under Settings → Organization settings → Project tab:
You can also switch the prompt off straight from the pop-up by clicking Switch off asking for dropout reasons. Skip closes the pop-up without adding a reason.
Add a reason from the Candidate's Profile
Another option is to add the dropout reason for the Candidate under the Profile view. When navigating under the History tab → Projects, you can see a little Edit icon to add a Dropout reason:
By clicking on the Edit icon, you can again see the saved selection of reasons. Choose the relevant reason and click Save!
Dropout reasons report
In Reports, add a Dropouts widget to your own report and group it by Dropout reason.
A friendly reminder, the filters are customizable. By adding project custom fields, you can get a more detailed reporting system to better match your organization's needs.
